غداةَ الشَّكِّ نَدعوكَ
إلى الراحِ تُغادِيها
The morning after doubt we call you
To ease off to rest
فلاَ تَنأ وَلذَّاتُ
ك دانٍ منك نَائيها
So do not shy away, for your pleasures
Are humbly beseeching you
فقَد أضحَت سِجالُ الغَي
ثِ مُنْهَلّاً عَزالِيها
For the wasteland debates have become
A secluded watering hole
وبُسْطُ الرَّوضِ تُغنِيك
عن البُسْطِ نَواحِيها
And the garden's expanse makes you
Forget its far reaches
رُبىً طَيِّبَةُ النَّشرِ
تُحيِّي مَن يُحيَيِّها
A gentle, sweet-scented blossom
Revives whoever it revives
إذا ضاحكَها البَرقُ
غَدا الغيثُ يبُاكِيها
When lightning makes it laugh
The rain starts crying for it
وعندي قَينةٌَتنُثُ
رُ دُرَّ القَولِ من فِيها
And I have an intimate friend who
Spills the pearls of words from her mouth
إذا دَغْدَغَتِ العُودَ
رأيناه يُناغِيها
When you tickle the lute
We see it flirting with her
وراحٌ خُلِقَت للطِّي
بِ من أنفاسِ سَاقيها
And ease that was created for revelry
With the breaths of its pourer
وَوَْردٌ كخُدودِ الغِي
دِ تَحكِيه ويَحكيِها
And a rose like the cheeks of a young gazelle
Telling about it and it telling about her
وآدابٌ جَلِيَّاتٌ
دَقيقاتٌ مَعانيها
And refined, delicate etiquette
Subtle in its meanings
وعِلْقٌ يِحمِل الرَّايَ
ةَ لا غِشّاً وتَموِيها
And a caravan that carries the banner
Without deceit or pretense
دواءٌ يَحسِمُ الأدوا
ءَ إن عَزَّ مُداوِيها
A remedy that eliminates all remedies
If its applier is competent
فزُرني تلقَ دُنيا كُلْ
لَ مَا حَاوَلْتَهُ فيها
So visit me to find a whole world
Of everything you have sought in it
